The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1887-02-24

Who "whitewashed" the able( p pub
fishers of the county newspapers before
the Grand Jury pump vas applied in
the Mussel case? They "blowed'' con
siderable before its meeting, but when
subpenaed to give information, knew
nothing!

The next meeting of the Eaton AS
sembly dance club, at the Opera House,
will be a calico party on next Thursday
evening, March Sd. The closing one
will come off Thursday, March 18th, tc
be a "sheet and pillow case" party
This club has given very many pleasant
social parties at the Opera House during
the past winter months, many of which
were attended by the parents and
daughters of our best families, all OF
whom spoke of them in the highest
praise. Surely there can be nothing
harmful or immoral in stripping light
ly over the Opera floor' to the sweet
music that Custer furnishes OF such &C.
casions.

The fact that there is not a first-class
business room to rentin Eaton has driv-
en- a large wholesale dry goods house
from locating here. If we expect bust
ness men to come to our town and To-
cate, we must give them facilities for
doing business. The thrift and enter
prise of a town depends entirely upon
it's citizens. Why do not some of our
capitalists put up some modern bust
ness rooms? There are plenty of loca-
tions for them, and there would be no
trouble to rent them at a very profita-
BILE per cent. The town will be improv-
ed, more business will be drawn into it
and the general prosperity of it will in
crease. We are afraid we have too many
men of wearing short-sighted
spectacles.

John Conger and son and Richard
Morrow and son, very well-to-do and
prominent farmers west of Eaton, had
a regular eset-to'' on the public high
way on Thursday of last week, using
one another up pretty severely. An
old family feud has been existing be-
tween the parties for a long time, and
while returning from a public sale on
said day the tequartet" accidentally ran
into one another which opened the ball,
and they esft,'' 'sbit'' and pounded each
other until Joe Brant, on the Alex.
Huffman farm, close where the melee
occurred, appeared on the scene and
separated the contestants. Old man
Morrow was pretty severely used up
but not serious. The Congers hustled
in and appeared before the Grand Jury
in time to indict the Morrows for an
assault and battery, and it is proper to
leave it to be adjusted without any
comment.

The opening article in the March
HAMPERS continues the important Sc
ries of papers on the great institutions
of New York City with a careful study
of 1sThe New York Police Department"
by DIR. Richard Wheatley. He describes
the organization Of the force, with it's
ranks and grades, and the duties of
each member, explicitly enough to JUS
tify the statement made by the present
Board of Aldermen, that 'tthe Police
Department has reached a standard of
efficiency hitherto ~unattained, and SUI
perior to that of any force in the world"
The account of the detective bureau is
particularly interesting, and the per-
lection of it's system a be judged from
the fact that in Wall street, formerly
the richest hunting ground for skillful
thieving, sfrom the 18th of March,
1880, until to-day, not a ten-cent stamp
has been lost through a professional
thief-not a penny, not a cent? The
article is remarkably well illustrated
by twSrty-one engravings, the best OF
them Wing Gone of the Broadway
|Squad,n at his post on Washington
Square.
